No objections from my side. BOBYQA was again heavily used at
https://issfd.jpl.nasa.gov/home/GTOC6 (10th place this time), but
for performance reasons I used a C++ variant wrapped via JNI called from Java
code implementing the CMA optimizer interface. This seems the better solution
(keep the optimizer implementation outside CMA/Java and use only the interface)|
as long as we have no real Java implementation.
